The all-inclusive lifestyle in Southwest Florida
Centered between an international airport and several golf course communities, Arborwood offers convenience and resort-style amenities for both full-time residents and snowbirds. With multiple subdivisions appealing to different budgets, the neighborhood features a diverse population, from retirees to first-time homebuyers. Surrounded by major thoroughfares lined with retailers and restaurants, locals can stick close to home for the essentials—or take advantage of the nearby highways for a broader selection of stores and dining spots.
Resort-style living from Arborwood Preserve to Botanica Lakes
The Arborwood neighborhood consists of several subdivisions, including Arborwood Preserve, Botanica Lakes, Bridgetown at the Plantation and Marina Bay. While each homeowners association appeals to different buyers, all come with comparable amenities. “Botanica Lakes has really nice, resort-style amenities, so you get bang for your buck with the homeowners association fees. It’s a gated community with alarm monitoring, cable, internet and landscaping included all in one,” explains Damon Vetere of Coldwell Banker, a Realtor who lived in Botanica Lakes for several years and has over a decade of experience with the Fort Myers real estate market. Though the neighborhood’s population varies depending on the subdivision, “it’s a pretty good mix of retirees, pre-retirees and younger families,” Vetere says. Prices across the subdivisions vary, but Botanica Lakes maintains the lowest price point, with three-bedroom homes starting at $355,000 and larger homes reaching $750,000. Marina Bay and Bridgetown boast similar home prices, with two-bedroom houses beginning close to $450,000 and four-bedroom homes exceeding $875,000. For condo options, Arborwood Preserve’s two-bedroom units start at around $340,000.

For access to annual events in Fort Myers, like Taste of the Beach or Edison Festival of Light, residents can drive less than 15 miles to downtown.
Retailers and restaurants a quick drive down Daniels Parkway
Because stores and restaurants line Daniels Parkway and Gateway Boulevard, residents seldom need to venture more than a few miles away for the basics. There are two Publix Super Market locations along Daniels Parkway: one 3 miles east at Sky Walk and one 6 miles west at Daniels Crossing. For dining out, The Saucy Meatball serves Italian cuisine about two miles west of Arborwood, and Fancy’s Southern Café offers a menu of American southern fare less than five miles away. Gulf Coast Town Center is also less than 10 miles south of the neighborhood for a more comprehensive selection of shops and restaurants.
Easy rides down I-75 and flights out of town
Whether by car, bus or plane, travel from Arborwood proves simple. The 50 bus links directly to the Gulf Coast Medical Center and Cape Coral proper, and the nearest ramp to Interstate 75 is about 3 miles away, connecting the neighborhood to cities like Tampa and Miami in less than 150 miles. When flying out of state, Southwest Florida International Airport is located across Daniels Parkway, its entrance just over 5 miles away.
